Preschool teaching has been my dream the whole my life, however, the way to it was not so smooth as I had imagined. I attended a grammar school and then I got my master´s degree in Human nutrition at Mendel University. I never give up my dream to be a preschool teacher. So finally I decided to study a preschool education and become a preschool teacher. My hobbies are dancing in the national folklore dancing group Břeclavan, reading books and playing with my dog. I also love spending time with my nieces who I have been really close to since their birth.

I studied science and chemistry teaching at the Masaryk University in Brno and now I intend to complete my education in the field of preschool pedagogy. Working with children fulfils me because of their child enthusiasm and sincerity, which I verified several times during my teaching practice. In my spare time I enjoy cycling, reading or going out in nature, which is an endless source of inspiration for me. That is why I would like to pass on my love for nature to children.

I studied to be a nutrition assistant. I worked with children during my internships and had a lot of fun with them. I am currently studying preschool and extracurricular pedagogy because my dream have always been to work in a kindergarten and now I have the opportunity to fulfil it. What I love about children is their honesty, originality and individuality. My hobbies include traveling, dancing, spending time with family and friends.

I have always had a big dream to become a kindergarten teacher. For that reason I decided to study preschool and extracurricular pedagogy at the Pedagogical Secondary School. It makes me happy to stand behind the children's success and I like to pass on everything I can to them and at the same time I enjoy learning from them. They have completely different thoughts and ideas and so many times you are surprised by how they think about the world. Working with children is more of a hobby, I feel good with them. My other hobbies include dancing, gymnastics and volleyball.

Malikeh Rasti

a part time teacher

Currently I am pursuing my PhD in English literature at Masaryk University, Brno. My research interests are diverse and include folk literature, comparative literature, cultural studies, gender studies, psychoanalytical studies, ethnomusicology and children's literature.
I have a passion for exploring new places, expressing my creativity through painting, immersing myself in a good book, crafting unique creations, and most importantly, engaging with children as both a teacher and a learner.
For over a decade now, I have been working as an English teacher and have developed a deep passion for teaching children. It gives me immense joy to see them learn and grow in their language skills.
I am proud to be a part of the PONNY team for the past two years. Being a member of this team or better say, family has been an enriching experience for me both personally and professionally.

After graduating from the business academy I started working in a foreign company where I improved my English language for two years.
This was also helped by my great fondness for travel. I started working at Ponny kindergarten in 2019 and obtained a nanny certificate, while working I studied pre-school and after-school pedagogy in Prague and among other valuable courses I also have a speech therapy assistant course. Working with children is very fulfilling for me. In my free time I like to read, exercise, bake and spend time with my loved ones.

I have decided to travel after High school as an au pair to England and then to the USA where I improved my English and fell in love with working with children. I went through a child care and first aid course in the USA. After returning to the Czech Republic in 2019 I have completed a nanny course and then started working at Ponny kindergarten. In the following years I have completed a speech therapy assistant course and completed my qualification by studying pre-school and out-of-school pedagogy in Prague. In my spare time I like to travel, cook, spend time in nature and with friends.

I studied at an art school where I was introduced to various art techniques that I can now apply in practice with children. Afterwards, I obtained a qualification as a Childcare Provider in a childcare group. I grew up in a bilingual family, where I had the opportunity to learn Czech and Bulgarian from an early age. Part of my family also lives in Ireland, where I had the opportunity to improve my English through working abroad. A significant part of my life is my family, with whom I enjoy spending my free time, as well as engaging in sports, exploring other cultures, or photography. I would describe myself as positive and friendly, always with a smile on my face.

I graduated from the university with a bachelor’s degree in pedagogy in Poland. I specialise in preschool and early school education as well as teaching English language as a foreign language. After studies I had an opportunity to work as an educator and English teacher in the polish preschool in my home town. At work I aim at cooperation with children which is based on acceptance, mutual trust and friendship so that they can experience the world with courage. I’m a creative person who likes to create diverse and interesting teaching aids. Travelling is an important part of my life which gives me beautiful memories and experiences. In my free time I like listening to music, singing, doing sports and watching movies.

I am a qualified choir conductor. I started my career as an event manager at the children’s theatre "The Academy of Kindness".
Besides, I gained some work experience as a teacher of mental arithmetic and speed reading at International School of Mental Arithmetic "Indigo Mental". I have a daughter, so it is easy for me to find an approach to small kids. I am really interested in studying alternative methods of upbringing. My hobby is playing the piano, the bandura and dancing. I love going to the theaters, museums and different concerts. In my free time I like cooking. My inspiration is communication with nature.

Expert in Special Pedagogy

Even as a child I wanted to be a teacher. A childhood dream gradually became true during my studies of preschool and extracurricular pedagogy at the secondary school of pedagogy. Subsequently, I expanded my education at university where I focused on special pedagogy of preschool age as a part of my bachelor's degree and later on the field of counselling in the follow-up master's degree. I gained experience by leading groups of children or working as a teaching assistant for a child with special educational needs. I regularly supplement my education at other courses and seminars. For example, I completed a Montessori diploma course for children aged 3-6 years, a Montessori diploma course for children aged 0-3 years or a certified course of the MISP program (activation exercises for children). I like spending my free time in nature.
